9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: Do you have to put aaron attire? Yeah, you're qualified.

Speaker 4: Welcome to the radio home of Ronananian, the Car Doctor.

12
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 4: Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car owners the

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 4: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

14
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 4: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 4: the phone and call in.

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: The does are opening, But I am here to take

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: your calls at eight five five five six nine hundred.

18
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 4: And nah peep running.

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about, well, what's

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: going on with Chrysler. You know Chrysler's You hear it

21
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: in the news in and out. If you're in New Jersey,

22
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: you're kind of hearing it in and out between. There's

23
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: drones overhead, but that's a whole other conversation not applicable

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: to this radio show.

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 5: Or is it.

26
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll be doing drone repair in the next fifty years.

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: Chrysler's in trouble.

28
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 5: You know.

29
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: I didn't verify this, but I think I think it

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: was right. The article I read said Chrysler Chrysler as Chrysler,

31
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: not Ram, not Jeep. But Chrysler only makes one vehicle now,

32
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: and I think that's true. They only make a minivan.

33
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: I think they just make a minivan. I don't think

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: they make a car. Tom will check it for me,

35
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: but I and I was like, wow, that's kind of

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: mind blowing, right, you know, it's funny the car companies,

37
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: all of them do what they want, but I don't

38
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: think they listened to the public until after the fact.

39
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: Ford stopped making sedans. All they did was make trucks, right, Like,

40
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: the only vehicle you can buy from Ford, the only

41
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: car you can buy from Ford is a Mustang, all right,

42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: But everything else is small SUVs. And you know the

43
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: whole ev thing. We know where that's going, you know,

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: I think that's sort of seen its day, and you know,

45
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: now Ford's starting to think, hey, maybe we'll start making

46
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: cars again. The you know, now, I know why the

47
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: Simpsons are around, because there's that there's that you know,

48
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: Homer moment though, like people want cars. Yeah.

49
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: Well, I'm looking at their website right now, Chrysler, and

50
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: I see two twenty twenty four models, the Chrysler Pacifica,

51
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: the Chrysler Pacifica plug in hybrid one twenty twenty three

52
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: Chrysler three hundred and a twenty twenty five Chrysler Voyager.

53
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 2: There's only four.

54
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: Things listed on this website, so that's all it is.

55
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: So they don't even make the minivan anymore.

56
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 2: Well, the Voyager is of an Evan.

57
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: Oh, they consider that a minivan. Okay, so four models,

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: and it sounds like two of those, or at least

59
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: one of those, is an electric version of one of

60
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: the other models. Not a whole lot there now that.

61
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: Well, they've only got one listed for twenty twenty five.

62
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, Maybe they're not all out yet. But here's

63
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: my point. I'm seeing more and more problems with Chrysler,

64
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: to the point that it's The article I was reading

65
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: also pointed out that Chrysler has this tremendous backlog of

66
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: EV's and if you notice, I don't talk about EV's anymore.

67
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: I haven't for the past six or seven months because

68
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: I kind of think I said to myself, you know,

69
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: it's creating too much of a ruckus, and it's upsetting

70
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: the listenership on some sides of the coin, and I

71
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: want to be a neutral, you know what. I'm just

72
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: gonna let nature take its course, and I think it is.

73
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: And what really kind of got me going on Chrysler

74
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: was this. We had a twenty eleven Chrysler Town and

75
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: Country in the shop this week, and I think I

76
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: talked to you about this two weeks ago that I

77
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: was waiting for the tip them the totally integrated power

78
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: module to come in. We had to replace the underhood

79
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: fuse box or the control module for the vehicle, which

80
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: is actually a computer in fuse box and relays under

81
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: the hood. So by some miracle, Chrysler actually found one

82
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: and sent me one. Now they're remanning it all right,

83
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: meaning they take the old ones apart, they figure out

84
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: what's wrong with them, and they re manufacture them and

85
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: put them together, which okay, great. I'm grateful to get

86
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: anything I can for this twelve going on thirteen year

87
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: old vehicle. Here's the crazy part. One of the connectors,

88
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: the C four connector to be exact because they number

89
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: them connector one, two, three, four, five, sixty seven so on.

90
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: The C four connector has up to sixteen wires in it,

91
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: and you know we spent seven hundred dollars for this replacement.

92
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: Tip them and you start reading the instructions because I

93
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm one of those weird mechanics. I actually

94
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: read what I'm trying to fix. Instructions. Usually I read

95
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: them after the fact, but I thought in this case

96
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: I would read them before because it was taped right

97
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: to the top of the module. I mean, in all fairness,

98
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: usually I'm a heye that I put it together right. Look,

99
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: let's read the instructions and see if I did it.

100
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: But in this case, I did it beforehand. Why is

101
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: Chrysler telling me to move four wires out of the

102
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: sixteen wire connector and swap them, swap the white green

103
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: with the white orange and the white ten with the

104
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: white yellow. Well, wait a minute, Pen eleven has a

105
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: black wire in it. It doesn't have a white yellow,

106
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: So what wire do I swap. Wait, I have to

107
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: match wire colors, but yet my pen eleven is a

108
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: black it's not a white yellow. We had to look

109
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: through I mean it was like Webster's Dictionary of Bulletins

110
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: to find the comment where and in the case where

111
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: you have a black wire swap it Anyway, Now, the

112
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: scary part is the instructions for putting this tip them

113
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: in were printed as per Chrysler in twenty fourteen, ten

114
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: years ago. The part is for a twenty eleven vehicle.

115
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: The remanufacturing of this part, as per the tag in

116
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: the box, took place in twenty twenty two. How come

117
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: we haven't updated the instructions to include that bulletin? And

118
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: I say, it's because everybody's running around corporate offices worrying

119
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: about if they have enough pencils and pencil sharpeners and

120
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: snacks in the executive lounge. Because they're so worried about

121
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: going out of business they can't worry about everything else.

122
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. You know, there's that moment, it's like spin

123
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: the magic wheel. God, I hope this works. You know

124
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: it's Chrysler's in trouble. Take it from me and turning

125
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: wrenches a long time. You know, when you start to

126
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: see things where companies can't keep up with and I

127
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: don't want to say little details, but little details, you know,

128
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: what does that say for product support? If that was

129
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: a computer and this was Microsoft Windows, we would roast them.

130
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: There would be conversation in every forum, and yet we

131
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: seem to be accepting of it. By the way it

132
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: did work. We got it together, and it seemed that

133
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: the paradox or the problem with this vehicle that made

134
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: it so unique that we had to swap wiring around

135
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: was this was a fully loaded twenty eleven town in country,

136
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: and it had fog lights. And evidently they didn't put

137
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: fog lights into many of these vehicles, and since it

138
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: was such a rare option, it changed the configuration of

139
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: the underhood fuse box and you know how it was

140
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: supposed to work. I'm actually going to do a video

141
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: about it. The tip and went back because it's a

142
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: core we had to give it back to Chrysler. But

143
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: I've got the instruction book at the shop and I

144
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: think I'm going to lay out a video this week

145
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: and post it up to the YouTube channel, just to

146
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: show you and try to explain what was going on,

147
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: and you know, here's what we did, and here's what

148
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: we had to do, because I think it's important for

149
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: you to see it. Plus, I think if anybody else

150
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: is out there and they're doing a late model Chrysler

151
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: town in country, they'll know it might be a resource,

152
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: it might be a reference for somebody to help them,

153
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: because nobody should have to go through that. It's it's ridiculous,

154
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: you know. I see a lot of problems with a

155
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: lot of car companies. People ask me all the time,

156
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, what should they buy? And I'm getting leery

157
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: of Chrysler. If Chrysler can't get me correct parts. And

158
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: this isn't the first time we had We've had more

159
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: than a few. We've got more than a few. We

160
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: had a twenty twelve Jeep Grand Cherokee Again, how many

161
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: how many Jeep Grand Cherokees did did Jeep make in

162
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: twenty twelve? Parent company Stilantis now right, the one where

163
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: the CEO resigned this week? How many? How many Jeeps

164
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: did they make in twenty twelve? A gazillion, two gazillion

165
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: left front drive axle for this vehicle outer space intergalactic

166
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: back order doesn't exist. They're still making it or so

167
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: they're saying they haven't. They haven't ruled it obsolete yet.

168
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's just it's just not to

169
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: be found. And you know, you kind of got to

170
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: say to yourself, why what do you buy? I don't know,

171
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. And then I read in the news.

172
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: Have you seen the story about Nissan. I'm gonna pick

173
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: on everybody today, Merry Christmas. Have you seen the story

174
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: in the news about Nissan? There was an article on

175
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal. They're giving Nissan twelve to fourteen

176
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: months to survive before they go and Honda, which I

177
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: hope they don't because Nissan will just pull Honda under.

178
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: I think they could, even though Honda so gigundis, but

179
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: Nissan is rumored to be on the chopping block and

180
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: maybe in the executioner's block because it's not doing well,

181
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: you know. And it's funny, right you read the comments

182
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: about Nissan and it was such a such a reliable,

183
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: solid company, and it's changed hands so many times in

184
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: terms of ownership. I think in the last couple of

185
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: ten years that you know, I don't think there are

186
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: car people running car companies anymore. And it's starting to show.

187
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: It's starting to crack. Not all car company. I think

188
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: Toyota is being run by car people. I think Honda's

189
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: being run by car people, guys that you know, get it,

190
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: real engineers. I think GM is struggling to come back

191
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: to being a car company. Ford. There's a lot going

192
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: on at Ford. I think Ford's lost its quality edge.

193
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: And I think you read about it all the times

194
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: that tense speed automatic transmission is driving everybody nuts, you know,

195
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: and I hope Ford does make it. I like for it.

196
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: I think Ford. I think Ford had some good products.

197
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced of current stuff. Somebody was telling me

198
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: today that they went out looking at a mid level,

199
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: mid mid mid option to equipped F one fifty pickup

200
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: brand new. It was sixty six thousand dollars for a

201
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: pickup truck, a four wheel drive, you know, F one fifty.

202
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: Nothing crazy, you know, air conditioning, power, windows, power breaks,

203
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: the usual, you know, nuts, absolutely nuts. So the future

204
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: of order repair looks bright, and I can't imagine where

205
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: it's going to go. Hey, you know, it's Christmas. I

206
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: don't know if I should do this, but I will.

207
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: And you know we've got I've got I'm looking at

208
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the gift library, the things I was

209
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,200

00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 6: Pearl Harbor Day. I don't know if you mentioned that earlier.

261
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,719

264
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: I was.

265
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 1: Growing up, so I was listening to the news out

266
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: of New York City Today and the NBC Today Show

267
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: their big announcement. They said, hey, you know, today's December

Speaker 1: today's the day that we're gonna And there was some kakamaimi,

270
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: some kind of sale thing that goes on every year

271
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: in the city, and they were highlighting that, and I'm thinking,

272
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: wait a minute, what I guess because the greatest generation

273
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: is almost gone now and we don't have to talk

274
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: about it. You know, it's nonsense, it really is. But

275
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: you Today's Pearl Harbord Day. Eight oh three Hawaiian time,

276
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: I think it was in the morning on that Sunday morning.

277
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 6: Thank you. I figure correct if my father was in

278
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 6: the Pacific in World War two.

279
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, just a whole other generation of people. Absolutely.

280
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: So how can I help you today, Pete?

281
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 6: Well, in your last segment you said Ford had good

282
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 6: products quote unquote, so I want to follow up on that.

283
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 6: I basically have a nineteen thirty one Ford Model, a

284
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 6: Sadan cool all stopped. My parents bought it back in

285
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 6: nineteen fifty seven, and I learned to drive in the

286
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 6: car in nineteen sixty six, giving my age away, and

287
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 6: basically since then it hasn't been driven much. And it

288
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 6: was driven up by my dad, given to me, and

289
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 6: parked in my barn in twenty ten. So it's been

290
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 6: sitting at my barn for fourteen years now, not run

291
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 6: at all. And I just wanted to ask you for

292
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 6: your reckon as to what do I have to do

293
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 6: before starting it or trying it even start it up

294
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 6: and running it? It does I put the crank in,

295
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 6: It does crank easily, right, That's my question. I don't

296
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 6: has compression and everything else, but it just it sat

297
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 6: there for fourteen years. What do I need to do?

298
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: Number one. Well, I'd drain the oil, right, you know,

299
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: I would drain the oil. I would pull plugs out

300
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: of it, shoot a little squirre of oil into each cylinder,

301
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: put the plugs back in. I'm just funny like that,

302
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: you know.

303
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 3: I would.

304
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: I would give it a little bit of time, let

305
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: it sit overnight, let the oil sort of you know,

306
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: move itself around, and make sure that there's some lubrication

307
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: that way, so when you start it we don't have

308
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: any issues. And then I would obviously fill it with

309
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: fresh oil. I would hand crank it and make sure

310
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: everything is moving freely and not using the fuel from

311
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: the tank. I would put an alternate fuel supply in

312
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: this just to see if it fires. And if it

313
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: fires and runs, we're good. You know. I think that's

314
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: as far as far as getting the engine running, you know, obviously.

315
00:15:58,680 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 6: Which is really what I would like to do.

316
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, obviously changing coolant, and if it's wet,

317
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna change. We're gonna change whatever's wet coolant, transfluid,

318
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: differential fluid, whatever, you know. Obviously, look at the brakes,

319
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: look at the tires, all the rubber components, you know,

320
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: just all the things that it would normally expect to

321
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: do maintenance on you know, but r my.

322
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, my big thought was just to get the engine running,

323
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 6: so after that I can play it and do what

324
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 6: i want. But training you oil, pull the plugs. Uh,

325
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 6: you'd squirt some oil in each of the cylinder, crank it.

326
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: And hand crank it, and then put and then put

327
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: the plugs back in. You know, it's gonna smoke a

328
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: little blue. Who cares? Uh? You know, you could even

329
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: use the plugs that are in there. You're gonna even

330
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: if even if you foul them a little bit or

331
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: they have some carbon on them, Who cares. We just

332
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: want to get it running. We just want to put

333
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: a little heat in the cylinders, you know, just to

334
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: see how it reacts. And then and then once i

335
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: see that it runs and it's solid that way and

336
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: I've got good oil pressure, you know, I'm gonna then

337
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: shut it off fill it with coolant. You know, I'm

338
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: an even worried about coolant at this point. I just

339
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: want to hear it fire right, and you know, then

340
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna then I'm gonna put you know, I'm gonna

341
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 1: put coolant in it, bring it up to temp. Let

342
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: us sit there in idle for a half hour, forty

343
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: minutes whatever, do a hot oil change, fill it with

344
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: fresh oil.

345
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 6: You did, you did make a good suggestion of an

346
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 6: alternate gas supply, because I don't know if it was

347
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 6: put away with any gas in it, or it is

348
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 6: put away and the gas has been drained out right,

349
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 6: But prior to putting any gas in the gas tank,

350
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 6: say I get it running with an alternate gas supply,

351
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 6: would you recommend flushing the gas tank or something there

352
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 6: might just be rust in it, or just run it

353
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 6: through a filter paper or something.

354
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would. I would pull the tank. It's easy enough,

355
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: and you know, I would either look inside or have

356
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: the tank boiled out and cleaned up. You know, fourteen

357
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: years is a long time, and since since there's some

358
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: unknowns here, and then if there is any rust in

359
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,959
Speaker 1: the tank, we can have it seal coated. They can

360
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: seal coat the inside of the tank to keep the

361
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: rust from circulating around. And then you know, obviously go

362
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: through the carburetor. Once we know the engine runs, get

363
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: the car rebuilt, and there's all kinds of parts available

364
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: for that. So that's that's an easy fix. But get

365
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: it run and built, Pete. I'm sorry, get it run

366
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: and Pete and you know, let me know what happens.

367
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: We can kind of talk from there, all right, kiddo,

368
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: I gotta go. The clock's gonna take me, but you

369
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: keep going, and good thoughts about Pearl Harbor. I'm running, Ady,

370
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: and the car Doctor I'm back right after this seats.

371
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: Let's see. Oh, by the way, research Kathy once again

372
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: has the chime in thank God for her and tell

373
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: us that no, they have two Pacifica and Voyager, So

374
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: thanks Kath, keep them coming. So but two vehicles. I

375
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: wonder how many cars? Kathy and she'll do this and

376
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it the next break. Kathy, do some

377
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: research and find out how many cars did Chrysler make

378
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: in a year at their at their peak, you know,

379
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: how many different models? Five, seven, eleven. It used to

380
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: be that you've welcome to a Chrysler showroom. There were

381
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: cars all over the place. But I guess not so

382
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: much anymore. But anyway, let's go to Let's go to

383
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: Daniel in Wisconsin. Daniel, welcome to the Car Doctor, Sir.

384
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 1: How can I help hi?

385
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 3: How are you Ron?

386
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: I am good? How are you?

387
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 3: I awesome? Talking to you, man, I listened to you

388
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 3: every day. I appreciate you podcast and Saturday.

389
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, you like that? How do you like those

390
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: classic podcasts from fifteen years ago? Twenty years ago? Isn't

391
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: that crazy stuff?

392
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been doing.

393
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: Life has changed a lot, you know. I listened to

394
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: those when I post them up, and I think, and

395
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: it's funny. I kind of remember the calls, which is bad,

396
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: but you know, I tend not to forget a lot

397
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: of things. But it's just, you know, the way we

398
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: fixed cars in two thousand and seven versus today just

399
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: just nuts. It's just so very different. The market has

400
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: changed so radically, so cars are so different now. Anyway,

401
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: how can I help young man?

402
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 3: Well, I had bought a twenty three Ford Maverick and

403
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 3: we like it, but size there's a button here? Yeah,

404
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 3: there is it? Man? The ride is I feel every

405
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 3: bump yep of Wisconsin romans yep. And what can I change.

406
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: Without changing the truck?

407
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 3: Taking all the dufts done on my wallet?

408
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know it's it's I'll be honest with you.

409
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 1: I've seen the Maverick, I've ridden in the Maverick. I

410
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: don't like the Maverick and This is just one of

411
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: the reasons. It's it's it's got such a wimpy little suspension,

412
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: you know. It's it's just it's got no guts to it.

413
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: And I don't know of anything in the aftermarket right now,

414
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: like as somebody come out with better shocks or a

415
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: better suspension system for I haven't. I haven't seen anything.

416
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: It's been a while since I last looked, because I

417
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: was kind of curious when these first came out, So

418
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: I I honestly don't know if there is anything you

419
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: can do, Daniel. I'm not gonna lie to you, as

420
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: you wouldn't expect me to. Uh sure, hey, listen, you

421
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: know you can try new seats, you know. I wondered,

422
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: if it's possible, what what different wheels and tires would

423
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 1: do for that truck, because it's got what on it,

424
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: It's got what size rims are on that.

425
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 5: Do you know?

426
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 3: I don't even know. Yeah, I did not lie.

427
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: I wonder if we could put a slightly bigger tire,

428
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: give it a little bit more, but then I'd have

429
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: to reprogram, you know, if there was an optional size,

430
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: which I don't think there was. I think they only

431
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: came with one sized tire. But if there was a

432
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: way to put a larger tire on it and then

433
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: program computers accordingly. So I don't skew numbers and change things,

434
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: I would, by all means try that just to see,

435
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: you know, a little more tire.

436
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 3: One, I got the tire. Somebody put a cooper around there,

437
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 3: so I think the guy was trying to change that, right.

438
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean even though I talked to a

439
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 3: guy that's got a lariat and it's the same with

440
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 3: you know, ride quality. Wow, you picked that much more

441
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: for lariat and it's the same, right, Yeah, Ford, you

442
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 3: really screwed up.

443
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tell you Ford has kind of lost their

444
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: way in a lot of in a lot of things.

445
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: And I see this on a repeated basis. I was

446
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: looking at a presentation about the ten speed automatic transmission

447
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: that are in Fords, and they were pointing out the

448
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: weak points and they're so obvious you wonder how the

449
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: engineers missed it. And you know, for all my listeners

450
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: out there that have the F one, fifty two, fifty

451
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: series pickup trucks, they know what I'm talking about. They're

452
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: they're living it, you know. It's it's I kind of

453
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 1: thought Ford lost its way. We have a couple of

454
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: customers with the Ford Transit, the big van which replaced

455
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: the Econoline van, which made no sense to me because

456
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, again, how many how many Econoline

457
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: vans did they make over the years? Another gazillion. Here's

458
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: another gazillion numbered model vehicle, right, and they create this

459
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: transit connect in this transit that is so difficult to

460
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: work on, and the full size transits, all they do

461
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: is chew up breaks and tires. Every twenty thousand miles,

462
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: you're putting one or the other or both on. And

463
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: I see this all day long, and I'm like, how

464
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: could they do this? And then to do the breaks

465
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: on a transit van the more heavy duty versions is horrible.

466
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: It's it's it's the rear axle has to come apart

467
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: and just to do breaks, to do rotors, and you wonder,

468
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: you know why not a well thought out vehicle. Absolutely

469
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: not a well thought out vehicle by any stretch. So

470
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: I think Ford's got some growing to do. I think

471
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: They've got some some thinnan to do, as we like

472
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: to say, and some things to correct. So but yeah,

473
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: your Maverick is going to stay the way, it is

474
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: my friend until somebody in the aftermarket re engineers it.

475
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: Hey give it a shot. What have you got to lose?

476
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 3: Well, I want to thank you, and you are right

477
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 3: about mechanics because I lost mine and I was with

478
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 3: them for twenty years and I would take it into

479
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 3: the shop and he knew what I wanted. If it

480
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 3: was over a certain amount, he would call me. Other

481
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 3: than that, he would fix it and then I would

482
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 3: pay him.

483
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: Right, And I think, I yeah, I listen. I don't

484
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: think not everybody. I don't want to say everybody, but

485
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: there are some people out there that think so cock

486
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: eyed about mechanics. True story. And then I'm going to go.

487
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: I had a woman called the shop this week. What's

488
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: your availability for work? And I said, well, we're you know,

489
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: we've got some time in a week. We're about a

490
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: week and a half. I think we were this was Monday,

491
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: so I think this is Wednesday, so we're about a

492
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: week and a half out. I said, what do you have?

493
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: She says, I have an O seven Honda honesty okay,

494
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: And you know what do you need to get done? Well,

495
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: I need valve cover gaskets in a set of spark

496
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: plugs and I said, well, listen, your first time to us.

497
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: You're new to us. I said, you know, we're going

498
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: to do a seasonal checklist. We do a seasonal checklist.

499
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: Here's the cost. Yeah, I want to baseline the vehicle.

500
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: I've never seen the vehicle before. You know, I want

501
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: to make sure you've got me working on the front

502
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: of the car. I want to make sure the back

503
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: half of the car isn't going to fall off. And

504
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: she flat out didn't want to do that. And I

505
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: can't understand that. You know, you go to a doctor

506
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: for the first time, what does he do? They give

507
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: you a physical right, heart rate, blood pressure, living in

508
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: your mouth, look in other places. You know, it's it's

509
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: it's crazy. And I think I think people that are

510
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: impractical and don't approach mechanics correctly are going to find

511
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: they're going to constantly go through mechanics. You know, everybody

512
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: that's come into my shop and said, hey, I can't

513
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: find a decent mechanic, and they roll through the list

514
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: and after about the sixth or seventh mechanic in their

515
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: lifetime time, I keep going. You know, there's one common

516
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: denominator here. You know, maybe it's not the mechanics. Maybe

517
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: it's you and people have to start to accept that.

518
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, because every time I see him, I beg him

519
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 3: to open the shop and he says I can, and

520
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 3: I wish I would. Yeh.

521
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: It's well the cost, well, the cost alone, you know

522
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,959
Speaker 1: what it is to yeah, I mean, yeah, I know,

523
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: it's a lot. It's just a lot. You know, you

524
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: can describe what is it cost to open an order

525
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: repair shop to words a lot? You know, it's it's

526
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: just it's just that expensive. She asked me. She said,

527
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: so what's your labor rate? I said, you know, yeah,

528
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: it's one hundred and seventy five dollars an hour and

529
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: she almost fell over.

530
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't care what the labor rate is because

531
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 3: you're good.

532
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: Well, she said. Then I said, what do you think

533
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: it should be? She says, oh, I don't know. Fifty

534
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: sixty dollars an hour. I said, right, when you get

535
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: back from nineteen fifty five, let me know how the

536
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: trip was, and she hung up on me. I can't

537
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: understand it. People have no sense of humor. I gotta go.

538
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: I gotta go. Daniel. Listen, you're very welcome. You have

539
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,200

Speaker 1: We're back right after this. La la la, la la la.

541
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: I could sing. My father used to say, go sing

542
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: far far away. I would always tell him, I don't

543
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: know that song. Let's go over to eric in Maryland.

Speaker 1: I think and then we're done, so thank god. But yeah,

566
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: it's horrible. So what's cooking? How can I help you

567
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: and your Honda today?

568
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

569
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 5: So I've got a two thousand and eight Honda Pilot. Uh,

570
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 5: it's the value packets model with the three point five

571
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 5: V six and it's the all will drive. I'm having

572
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 5: crazy transmission issues. And I know that Honda had issues

573
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 5: in like the three oh four versions. Right now, I've

574
00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 5: replaced like the selenoid A and B. I replaced selenoids. See,

575
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 5: I've replaced the third and fourth transmission position sensor.

576
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: You've done all the external switches, is what you're saying?

577
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 5: Most of them? Yeah? Most of them?

578
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 6: Yeah?

579
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: Okay, And what kind of problems are you having?

580
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 5: So it started sporadically. Once the transmission fluid heated up

581
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 5: for the next amount of time, maybe twenty minutes, maybe fifteen,

582
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 5: it would just completely slip, okay, and I would put

583
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 5: the car in neutral as I was driving, not recommended,

584
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 5: but turn it off and then turn it back on,

585
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 5: and then it would pick back up and it would

586
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 5: engage and it would go. And now it's to the

587
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 5: point where it will drive for maybe two minutes. But

588
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 5: it's once that transmission fluid heats up, it's it's toast

589
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 5: and it doesn't shift, it doesn't do anything. It just

590
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 5: completely just read reps out, check.

591
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: In, check engine light codes. Issues I had.

592
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 5: I had a P seven zero four. I think first,

593
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 5: I guess my main question is is it worth it? Too?

594
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 5: Because I've talked to a couple of different mechanics. Is

595
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 5: it worth it to just replace the transmission or to

596
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 5: try to replace the torque converter?

597
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 3: First?

598
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 5: You know, I'm pretty handy. I did all the sensors

599
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 5: and stuff myself. I just I wanted to get your

600
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 5: your take on take on the current issue.

601
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is a matter of economics and budget,

602
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: all right, more so than vehicle. I will assume that

603
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: the rest of the vehicles in tip top shape. Just

604
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: just listening to how you just.

605
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 5: Listen to It's perfect. Yeah, it actually in reference to

606
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 5: Pearl Harbor. It actually uh so, I live pretty close

607
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 5: to Dover Air Force Base, right, And I bought it

608
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 5: from a gentleman that buys vehicles off of service members

609
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 5: when they deploy. So he and it had a perfect

610
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 5: service record. Nothing really related to the transmission as much,

611
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 5: but I did the trans flush and all that stuff

612
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 5: two or three times and I'm still just having.

613
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 6: Issues with it.

614
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, how many how many miles were on it when

615
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: you bought it?

616
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 5: I want to say probably to.

617
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: Ten maybe, because that will look like they had the time.

618
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 5: Cover and everything replaced at like one point fifty, so

619
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 5: I know the motor's.

620
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: Solid right, Well that because because how long you've owned

621
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: and maintained the vehicle will affect my answer. And I'll

622
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: tell you what. Sit tight, let me pull overtake the pause,

623
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: and when I come back, we'll finish up and we'll

624
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: talk about it. I'm running any and the car Doctor.

625
00:31:46,240 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: We'll return right after this. And Eric, are you're still there? Running?

626
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: Ending of the car doctor here?

627
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 6: Yeah?

628
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: Okay, So you acquired this eight Honda Pilot at about

629
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: two hundred and ten thousand miles a couple of years back, right,

630
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: it's got how many miles on it now?

631
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 3: Thirty about?

632
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: So you went twenty thousand miles. Let's let's just call

633
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: it what it is. What'd you pay for the car?

634
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 5: Thirty two hundred I believe, okay.

635
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: So you put you paid thirty two hundred dollars for

636
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: it by New Jersey standards, I can tell you dealer

637
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: installed transmission in that vehicle is about sixty five hundred bucks,

638
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: so it's it's double the value of the vehicle. Of course,

639
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, I can make the argument of car is

640
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: only worth what it's going to cost you to replace.

641
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: So you know, my first thought goes to what would

642
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: you replace it with? You'd have to go out and

643
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: find another thirty two hundred dollars vehicle, you know, or

644
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: maybe it's a five, maybe it's a yeah, maybe it's

645
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: a five thousand dollars vehicle.

646
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 5: Now yeah, yeah, you're not gonna find You're not going

647
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 5: to find a vehicle that big, right in this good condition, right.

648
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

649
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it pays. I don't think it pays

650
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: to do just the converter to address that part of

651
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: your question, because if the converter's coming apart, it put

652
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: all that contaminant, where did it go, you know, to

653
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: go through the labor of pulling the trans I think

654
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: that's silly. I would just put a unit in it. Now,

655
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: would I put a unit in it? This is a

656
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: marriage question. You're about to get married. You're gonna put

657
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: a trends in this car. You're gonna have to drive

658
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: it the next three to five years. And what does

659
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: that look like two thousand and eight, twenty eighteen, twenty

660
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: twenty eight. That vehicle is going to be twenty years old,

661
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: twenty one years old, twenty nine, thirty twenty three. Yeah,

662
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be twenty two to twenty three years old

663
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: when you're done with it. What sort of parts will

664
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,239
Speaker 1: be out there? And as solid as you think the

665
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: engine is, because you probably thought how solid the trans was.

666
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: If we have an engine problem, if we start to

667
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: burn oil, you know, this is a great what if car?

668
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: What if this goes bid? What if that goes bid?

669
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,479
Speaker 1: Are you ready to stay married or are you going

670
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 1: to get a divorce? You know, the sixty five hundred

671
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: dollars or if you did it yourself, that unit over

672
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: the counter has got to be every bit of thirty

673
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: five hundred and four grand. Let's call it four grand.

674
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 1: It's a nice round number. The car doesn't anoy you anything.

675
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: You've driven it a couple of years. You paid thirty

676
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars for it to buy that out by

677
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: the number of months driven except for the services, which

678
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: is reasonable. The car doesn' annoy you a dome. But

679
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: I think to put six thousand or four thousand and

680
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: whatever into this vehicle to keep it going. That's a

681
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 1: matter of how bad do you want this vehicle. I'm

682
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: not saying not to, I'm just saying way the options carefully.

683
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: And then if you put all this money, you hit

684
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: the sixty five hundred dollars and whatever and it got

685
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: totaled in an accident two weeks later, what would your

686
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: insurance company.

687
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 2: Pay you for it?

688
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: And that's a problem, A lot of thinking to do here. Eric,

689
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: let me know what you decide. I'm not an ending

690
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:04,480
